GEN. PHIL KEARNEY.
An Eye Witness to the Brave Soldiers
Death Heard From

William Root, of Kearney's division,
writes to the Jacksonville Times linton as
follows:
In reading your article in regard to the
death of Gen. Phil Kearney at the battle of
Chantilly, did not suppose there was ever
any mystery about how he was killed to
those who knew anything about it, Our
regiment, the Twentieth Indiana, was in the
first brigade of Gen. Kearney's division,
Third army corps, and Gen. Kearney's and
Gen. Stevens 1.-THE Second division) were Sc
lected to guard the road from Centerville
Heights to Fairfax Court House, over which
road our army was retreating from the Sec
ond battle of Bull Run, and this engage
ment was brought on by the enemy
trying to break our lines, and thus cut off
our only means of getting our immense sup
ply, ammunition and ambulance trains TO
Fairfax Court House. We held our lines
after one of the sharpest engagements dur
ing the war, which lasted from 4:30 p. IN.
until dark Gen. Stevens vas killed in the
early part of the battle Gen. Kearney or
dered the picket detail from our brigade
and any one familiar with Gen. Kearney'S
picket duty knows full we'll that after an
engagement he would place them in person,
so that if he was attacked in the night he
knew just where his troops were, and in
putting our pickets out about p. m.
Gen Kearney, in company with
Capt. Randolph, the Chief of Artillery,
was at the head of the column. We
did not suppose that the enemy would ad-
vance their lines, but we ran into their
pickets not more than $50 yards from our
line of battle, finding them in small grove
of second-growth pine. There were not
over dozen shots from the enemy We
did not fire at all, and no one was killed but
Gen. Kearney. His body was sent through
the lines at daylight next morning; hence
he was not surrounded, as was not over 300
feet from him when he was killed We
then felt that we had no one to direct us.
History has never done Gen. Kearney JUS
tice. We were the rear guard in the re-
treat from the front of Richmond, and were
in every engagement on that retreat.
Gen. Kearney tooutd put out the pickets
himself, and this was the first time that
corps badges We're worn by his old division.

great movement" Never was there a di
vision of soldiers that loved their gem
eral more than we did Gen. Phil Kearney,
and to his bravery is due that McClellan's
army reached the James river

CONGRE SMEN AT WAR.

Senate Conferees in High Dudgeon
at the House Representatives.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-War IS brew
| ing between the two houses of Congress.
The mem mbers OF the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, who are unusually very
guarded in their utterances, make no
cOncealment of their opinion that an extra
session is now almost inevitable, nor do
they hesitate to place the blame where
they think 1t belongs. After two or three
conferences on the sundry civil bill last
week, which were almost nullified by the
early withdrawal of the House conferees
meeting was secured at 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning, which was intended by
the Senate members to last through the
day and through last night as we'll, if
necessary, to complete the bill and clear
the desk for the remaining appropria-
tion bills.
HAD TO MEET AN ENGAGEMENT.
The programme was broken up by the
Chairman of the House Committee on Ap-
preparations, who at 8 O'Clock left to
meet an engagement.
The conferees met again between and
8 O'Clock in the evening, but before mid
night the same gentleman withdrew, al
ter giving notice that he could not meet
HIS ieiioW couiereeS again unIlI luesuay
night. The members of the Senate CON-
mittee express great Indignation at the
whole later course or proceedings by the
House and its managers in respect to the
appropriation bills.
FOUR BILLS WAY BEHIND.
Four of the annual appropriation bills
have not yet reached the Senate. There
is already talk OF the passage of a resolu-
tion extending the appropriations for six
months upon the basis Of those of the
current year.. 1t is said by some Sena-
tors that this is inexpedient, besides
leading to entanglements and unneces-
sary expenditures, as in the past. 1t
could only cover the failure of the legis-
lative and naval bills. The matters to be
provided for in the sundry civil aud de-
ficiency bills would still demand explicit
attention and definite appropriations.

BERLIN, Feb. 2S.--A dispatch from
Strasburg to the Berlin Post announces
that the government has issued an order
for the dissolution OF the union of the AL
satan choral societies, it being sue-
pected that the union has assisted the
objects Of the French League of Patriots.
1t is further. reported That the laws
dealing with societies will be rigo-
rously enforced; that the meas
ure forbidding French military
men to stay IN Alsace except on special
permit will be applied to civilians, and
that societies whose rules forbid the ad-
mission Of Germans to membership, or So
cieties which, as a matter OF common
knowledge exclude Germans. will be dis
solved. Some law is considered neces-
sary to deal with French ennis
saries, press correspondents and others
who, it is claimed, have, been acting as
electoral agents, incitiag malcontents,
freely visiting Notifications and
lending themselves to the work

Commissioner Wright Submits His
Second Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Carroll ID.
Wright, Commissioner OF Labor, has SUBJ
mitted to the Secretary OF the Interior
his second annual report, which relates
entirely TO the subject Of convict labor.
The report is based on information COL
lee ted In pursuance of the joint resolu-
tion OF Congress, approved August 2,
1886. The investigation conducted by
the bureau has reached all the penal In
stitutions Of all grades in the several
States and Territories and the
District OF Columbia IN which
the inmates are in any degree
employed in productive labor. The re-
. port states that 1t is perfectly evident
from the Information obtalLed that the
competition arising from the employment
OF convicts, as far as the whole country
Is concerned, would not OF itself consti-
tute question worthy OF serious
discussion. However, locally and
in certain industries, says the
report, the competition may be serious
and of such proportions as to claim the
most serious attention OF Legislatures.
Commissioner Wright discusses at con-
siderable length the ADVANTAGES aud dis
advantages of various systems and plans
suggested as a solution OF thy convict
labor problem, and arrives at the con-
clusi0n that band labor. under the public
account system, is, on the whole, the best
